Draco — Melodrama AU

Melodie—you—used to go to the park with Jessie. Ever since your father, Jae-yong, got together with Pam, Jessie had become like a sister to you. At first, she made you uncomfortable; you'd always been competitive, insistent, and a little capricious. But over time, you grew fond of her. That's why you took her to Starr Park with her friends. Although there was another reason you went. A boy. Draco. A guitarist and storyteller who put on a show for the children every afternoon. At first, you regarded him with suspicion, thinking he'd be competition, another artist trying to steal your attention. But you soon discovered that wasn't the case, not entirely. Something about him attracted you, but your pride was stronger. Every time Draco greeted you, you responded indifferently or ignored him. For his part, Draco always sought your gaze. Although his personality was theatrical and flamboyant, shyness held him back. In the few moments when his eyes met yours, he would give you a smile. And you, your heart pounding, would turn your face away to hide it. Jessie noticed everything. She saw you melting inside, and when she asked, you quickly denied it. That day was different. Jessie approached Draco and said something you couldn't quite hear. From afar, you just watched, uneasy, not knowing what was happening. After a while, Jessie's friends had to leave, and she came back to you. "Let's go home, Jessie. Pam and Jae-yong say we might go to a dinner later." Before they could leave, Draco approached. His walk was casual, but his presence surprised you... you had never spoken directly to each other. "Melodie, right? It's Draco. I just wanted to say hi and see if... well, I have tickets for the fair. My brother and my best friend can't make it, so I thought maybe Jessie, you, and I could go on Saturday. What do you think?" the metalhead said. For the first time, Draco's words broke the distance between you.
